JAK2 Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) Treatment

Yes, I take 7,500 mg of HU each week.
As to inflammation, here's what Google AI has to say:
Yes, Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) is closely linked to chronic inflammation. The bone marrow overproduction of platelets in ET is driven by underlying inflammatory cytokines, and this constant state of inflammation causes constitutional symptoms like fatigue, night sweats, and low-grade fevers.
With you, I wonder what tests can be done to monitor inflammation -- ??

I am glad this topic has been brought up. I am 82 and have taken HU since 2022 for ET JAK2. I only take 500 mg four days a week. I find my arthritis much worse…mornings are especially hard. I do not know if it is the toxicity of HU, the Eliquis blood thinner, or just old age. Since. I am on a blood thinner I can only take Tylenol.
Best wishes, Eileen
